🧵 Using FOI to Defend the Environment
1/ PFAS, or "forever chemicals," are linked to severe health & environmental harm. Yet, corporate lobbyists are pressuring the EU to block regulation.
Here's how the Forever Lobbying Project and @corporateeurope exposed this with FOI ⬇️
4/ This investigation shows the power of FOI laws in uncovering environmental threats and holding industries accountable.
5/ 🌍 Take Action! Demand a toxic-free Europe by signing the petition by WeMove, calling on the EU to prioritize action against harmful chemicals.
